Weblogic SingletonService on a standalone server

Question

Is it possible to run weblogic's SingletoneService on none clustered environment? I've tried and got this:

Of course i don't have a configured MigrationBasis for cluster as i don't have cluster. But i thought it's possible to make it run both on cluster and on standalone server. Am i wrong or may be there are some other errors with SingletoneService that can lead to this error

Answer 1

Singleton Service can only be used in the context of a WebLogic cluster. For a standalone server @Singleton EJB annotation is enough.

The application which implements SingletonService works only on a managed server within a cluster. This application can not be deployed to a standalone managed server (i.e a managed server which is not part of any cluster).

Answer 2

An easy solution is to fix the 'Check if MigrationBasis for cluster is configured' message by configuring the migration policy. After that the singleton can also be deployed on a single node (Single node cluster). Under Environment -> Clusters you'll find the following settings:
